China has incapacitated many firms and persons from normal activity, we should record the past actions of a local charity that is now closed which gave good support to ex-service-people in the area over the past few years.

The Raven Inn. (Still unresolved)

CLHG gets action in other places : British Archaeology

The magazine of the Council for British Archaeology ["CBA"] "British Archaeology" in their May/June 2019 issue have considered the Raven Inn to be similar to Carlton Tavern, York case and discuss both in their article 'casenotes 43 ' by Bob Sykes, the CBA's listed buildings caseworker for England. The CBA considered the original planning application for the Raven Inn flawed (with a considerable number of mistakes) and would result in "total loss" and the "harm" would be considerable. Thus they lodged an objection. They noted that the original planning application was withdrawn just as they went to press. This was as a result of a CLHG member advising them of the application to demolish the Raven Inn.

In the March 2019 edition of Culcheth Life issue 192 , it is reported that the campaignersfor the 'saving' of The Raven Inn have had some success.
